Factors considered in the evaluation of programs and functions include: Value of the financial resources applicable to the program or function
Dollar amount of program expenditures
Statutes, rules, internal controls, procedures, and monitoring tools applicable to
the program or function; concerns of management; impact on the public safety, health, and welfare
Complexity and/or volume of activity in the program or function Cybersecurity
Input from Department management and staff
Previous audits performed
Programs and functions were scored based upon these factors, then reviewed further to determine the most efficient schedule of auditing the selected programs and functions given available resources. The following pages contain the Audit Plan for Fiscal Year 2021-2022. Included is a summary of the assigned hours by project and the available resources within the Office of Inspector General staff.
